Go Froth and Multiply
It is shortly after 11 o'clock on a midweek morning, and at the shopping centre at Angel, Islington, the escalator turns in a-slow, passengerless loop.2 Amid the usual chain stores--Borders bookstore and Gap--stands a coffee shop named Tchibo,its name a bright yellow scrawl against a vivid blue background.3Inside, it is much like any normal cafe: the room is filled with the huff and splutter of the coffee machine, and a couple of customers sit sipping cappuccino and eating cake.4 But there is one curious difference: the beechwood shelves of Tchibo are lined with an assortment of fancy goods--sparkly evening shoes and brassieres,cardigans, hairdryers, frying pans--so that the effect is something strangely akin to Costa meets Argos.
